The Western Front Today - Rifle House Cemetery

Rifle House Cemetery, located in the Ypres Salient and inside Ploegsteert Wood, contains
229 U.K. burials, including a 15-year-old rifleman, R. Barnett of 1st

also a single Canadian burial in the cemetery.

The name of the cemetery
was derived from a nearby building whose ruins remain to the present day.
